EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.
We need to figure out a way to recruit with to out outright posting it there.
Text as pictures, word-of-mouth, bugging people in Youtube referring to Reddit to use Lemmy instead, coded languages...
goto twitter subreddits and post memes from mastodon
Minus the "giving reddit more new content" part, this is a great idea
it's the whole reason "screenshot of a social media post" exists in the first place
and yeah, I sure as shit would never post there again, just putting the idea out there.
I am far from elitist in most anything I do or say. I try to be inclusive when introducing others to a topic, offer information freely and at any pace they can accept it, and generally enjoy the most mundane parts of life so long as they’re done in a healthy way. I say all of that to preface the fact that I cannot tolerate most users on YouTube. They're, by and large, just awful.
I do agree with your idea, but it physically hurts me to envision lemmy with YouTube comments.
Yes, YouTube comments are a cesspool and reading them makes my IQ drop ten points each time. It's probably already in the negatives by now.
But we could/should exert some pressure on youtubers mentioning Reddit. Such as Francis John. Encouraging the Reddit→Lemmy movement in the same way as the Twitter→Mastodon one, for roughly the same reasons (except that instead of Musk, you got someone who praises Musk in reddit. Like, not even the piece of shit, but the fly around the piece of shit).
Lemmy's structure encourages better commenting than the drive by, engagement floated style of YouTube.
But you are not wrong either.
The XFCE logo social media site.
It’s just bots enforcing this, images should work.
probably worth a try but I have to imagine reddit's algorithms can read the text in images
Yea, but that requires considerably more processing than plain text
True, I'm not sure if they ocr every image or not, maybe they don't
I'd be surprised if it bans comments for images with Lemmy.
I think the bigger problem is how to post without appearing like spam to the human community.
So what I'm hearing is post coded shitposts on Reddit? Got it!
Im sure there’d be a huge market for Lemmy if you just told people “do you want Reddit without ads or conservatives?”
Reddit is overwhelmingly left. Get a grip.
Reddit is overwhelmingly liberal. Which is not left. Read a book.
Understand the level of nuance where most of the people, in the world, don’t live in the US. And for everywhere but the US, liberal is pretty synonymous with “conservatives that won’t murder the gays or arrest you for smoking weed.”
Aren't those called "Libertarians"?
Or as I like to call them, the “abolish the age of consent” political ideology
Honestly all it took for me was "reddit with no ads" and I was on faster than you can say Lenin
Whenever I see someone asking about or speculating that users need somewhere else to go... I direct-message them and give them links to https://feddit.org/search and encourage them to make a login on some instance...
So far it doesn't seem reddit is snooping on direct messages ... yet
